My modified script don't work anymore in CC2020
I've got a script that put footnotes to the end of the text file as plain text, so I can use it on other places in the document. in CC2019 it works but now it won't work. I've try to debug it with "ExtendScript Toolkit", but that don't work (error: "Cannot execute script in target engine 'main'! (#1116) Can't start debug session.")
the script is as follows:
//DESCRIPTION: convert footnotes to dynamic (cross-referenced) endnotes
// Peter Kahrel -- www.kahrel.plus.com
// June 2010 fix: script now deals all stories with footnotes or a single selected story
// and with footnotes with more than one paragraph.
#target indesign;
// Only CS4 and later
if (parseInt (app.version) > 5 && app.documents.length > 0)
try {foot_to_end (app.documents[0], "endnote___")}
catch (e) {alert (e.message + " (line " + e.line + ")")};
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function foot_to_end (doc, stylename)
{
var endnote, footn, endnote_link, cue;
var note_styles = add_styles (stylename);
var stories = find_stories (doc);
for (var j = 0; j < stories.length; j++)
{
if (stories[j].footnotes.length > 0)
{
footn = stories[j].footnotes;
for (var i = 0; i < footn.length; i++)
{
stories[j].insertionPoints[-1].contents = '\r';
endnote = footn[i].texts[0].move (LocationOptions.after, stories[j].insertionPoints[-1]);
endnote.applyParagraphStyle (note_styles.first, false);

Who can help me?
